What's it worth?

Divex sells them. Not with spring straps, it's true, but you can't have everything.

I would have bought myself a pair already, cos I want to try out jetfins, but even at that price, I haven't had the cash..

Y'know,I don't want to upset anyone here but I've thrown loads of Jet Fins away.I acquired a few pairs over a period of time as you do,then when I had &quot;no room&quot; I had to get rid of loads of stuff.Nobody wanted em to be honest,they had it appears gone out of fashion,eclipsed by brightly coloured,positively bouyant specimens to keep newbies happy(Oh dear I've dropped a fin!)Anyway,to the bin they went!
Pray tell me Davy,what size you require,if we have none lying about I'll have a look around for you as I still come across em'now and then.Cost you a couple of Southern Comforts mind!Hobby.

In that case, can you see if there's any XL lying around for me too?

[Hobby]

I will Bwana! I think at the moment I've got 2 pairs,they're pretty big but I can't get em on with my dry bags(both neo type with supposed HD boots).I have size 8/9 feet which I think is pretty average so I don't &quot;think&quot; they'll be much use to either of you.

One thing about ankle weights and heavy fins too: it is very difficult, if not virually impossible (IME), to achieve a totally horizontal position for deco stops when using the above. This was brought home to me on my BSAC Adv nitrox course, I don't know if this will also be a case for the TDI Nitrox too (I'm imagining it will) but it's worth bearing in mind before shelling out any cash.
